Hosia 11
1 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili ea goi hadini esoga, Na da ema asigisu. Na da e Nagofe agoane e Idibidi sogega esalu amo gadili welegai.
I loved Israel when he was a child. He's my son I called out of Egypt.
2 Na ema bagohame wei, be e da Nama bagohame baligi fa: i. Na dunu da Ba: ilema gobele salasu. Ilia da loboga hamoi ogogole ‘gode’ ilima gabusiga: manoma gobele salasu.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to the Baals and offered incense to idols.
3 Be Na Nisu da Isala: ilima ahoasu hou olelei. Na da Na fi dunu Nima sogoba: le guda: i. Na da ili noga: le ouligi. Be ilia da Nama hame nodoi.
I myself taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the hand, but they didn't realize I was the one who healed them.
4 Na da asigiliwane ili Nima hiougia guda: i. Na da youge ilia mugia galu amo fadegai amola Na da ilima ha: i manu imunusa: begudui.
I led them along with cords of kindness, with ropes of love. I was the one who eased their burden and bent down to feed them.
5 Ilia Nama sinidigimu higasa. Amaiba: le, ilia da Idibidi sogega dafawane buhagima: ma. Amola Asilia fi da ili ouligimu.
However, because my people refuse to return to me, they will not return to the land of Egypt but Assyria shall be their king.
6 Gegesu da ilia moilai ganodini doasa: ili, moilai logo ga: su da mugululi sa: imu. Na fi dunu da ilia hanaiga hamobeba: le, gegesu da ili wadela: lesimu.
War will sweep through their cities, putting an end to their boasting and destroying their plans.
7 Ilia da dafawane Nama baligi fa: lala. Youge da ilia mugi da: iya dialebeba: le, ilia da a: iya gusa: mu. Be enoga da amo youge hame gaguia gadolesimu.
My people are hanging on to their apostasy from me. They call him “god on high” but he will not raise them up at all.
8 Isala: ili! Na da habodane di yolesima: bela: ? Na da habodane di fisima: bela: ? Na da A: dama moilai bai bagade amola Siboime moilai bai bagade Amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Be Na da habodane amo defele di gugunufinisima: bela: ? Na dima bagadewane asigisa. Amaiba: le, Na da di gugunufinisimu hamedei ba: sa.
How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I let you go, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is breaking; I am full of compassion.
9 Na da dima ougili se bidi hame imunu. Na da Isala: ili bu hame wadela: lesimu. Bai Na da mafua dunu hame, Na da Gode. Na, Hadigi Gode, Na da ani esala. Na ougiliwane dima hame misunu.
I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God, not a human being. I am the Holy One living among you. I will not enter your cities.
10 Na da Na fi ilia ha lai dunu ilima laione wa: me agoane gogonomomu. Amasea, Na fi da Nama fa: no bobogemu. Ilia da guma: dini esalu, hedolo Nama misunu.
The people will follow me, the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When he roars like a lion then his children will come trembling from the west.
11 Ilia da Idibidi ganini, sio agoane hedolo hagili misunu, amola Asilia ganini, ‘dafe’ sio defele hedolo hagili misunu. Na da ilia ilila: diasudafa amoga bu oule misunu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.”
Like a flock of frightened birds they will come from Egypt, like doves they will come from Assyria, and I will bring them back home, declares the Lord.
12 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Isala: ili dunu ilia ogogosu hou da Na sisiga: sa. Na da Dafawanedafa amola Hadigi Gode. Be Yuda fi dunu da Nama lelesu hou gebewane hamonana.”
Ephraim surrounds me with lies and Israel with deceit, and Judah still wanders with some deity, faithful to some “Holy One.”
